Milligram "s/t" 7"
[SuperFi]
I knew this was gonna be good stuff. Side A offers up two covers: A blazing rendition of "Mean Machine" by Motörhead, and "Back Seat of My Car" by the Dwarves. What needs to be said there? I think that's pretty self-explanatory. Though I will say that, of course, the Motörhead track is the better of the two (just barely)! Side B is an original track, "The Resentinel", which is slower and sludgier than much of Milligram's work, though I'm starting to think that this style is where the band is at their best. This particular piece is an instrumental, relying heavily on some Sabbath-esque rhythms and a completely devastating performance by the rhythm section, along with a few lead breaks as well. Very nice. The recording is awesome on this thing, too. The bass is dense as a motherfucker, the drums are hard-hitting, the guitars are thick and heavy, the vocals sound great... no complaints here. The 7" comes in a thick plain black sleeve with a black and white sticker wrapped over the top edge. The front shows a high contrast photo of the band and is hand-numbered in red ink (I'm guessing less than 500 copes?), and the back has the tracklist and recording information and such. There's no insert or anything. The vinyl is beautiful, though. Some of the thickest vinyl I've ever fucking seen! If you dropped this fucker at the right angle it would chop off a toe, no question. Mine's already split right through the side of the sleeve. Amazing. If you want to rock, pick this up. (7/10)
